The Betfair Insider Greyhound Selections: Saturday January 7th 2017

The Meadows

Race 2 Rohan Soolsma’s 21st

#1 Effective Comet

Although there doesn’t appear to be much early speed on paper, I believe this chaser does not run out a strong 525m. I also prefer her drawn off the track and don’t like her cramped on the inside. She would want to begin speedily as Adelaide Bale can crash hard down towards the rail. If Shantui or John John Lava can get a sit behind Effective Comet, I am confident they would run over the top of her.

LAY (WIN) Effective Comet on the Betfair SP

Wentworth Park

Race 5 Sky Racing Stakes

#8 Dyna Boomer

This dog has freakish abilities but boy does he make some mistakes in his races. He can be incredibly frustrating to watch and punters have had their fingers burnt many times. He is having his first look here which is a negative and I also prefer him drawn closer to the rails where he can make fewer mistakes. He may get posted wide on the first turn and get too far back. The other scenario that could eventuate is him missing the start and dropping to the rail, but I am confident that Aston Ebert and However Humble could be too far out in front. I am hoping I have both bases covered.
